Petronas: Internal probe led to MACC arrest of 3 men

The arrest of three individuals, including a senior Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) officer, by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday followed an internal investigation by the oil and gas company.

PCSB’s parent company Petronas released a statement today confirming the arrests, saying it had filed a complaint with the anti-graft agency after its own investigations into the staff concerned.

“Petronas does not condone nor tolerate any form of misconduct among its employees and contractors, and is extending its fullest cooperation to MACC to further assist in its investigation if necessary,” Petronas said in its statement.

Yesterday, the MACC said it arrested three individuals over suspected graft involving RM23.7 million.
